Doreen Kostynuik - I Wish You Rainbows

Infos from http://waxidermy.com/
Doreen bears it all on this solo journey.
While there are some standard (original) folk and bluegrass songs,
the real interesting parts are on the spoken-word tracks.
On these songs she opens up on a personal level which at first made me feel uncomfortable,
but over time became bearable owing to the poetic nature of its telling.
There is an especially interesting self-revelation recorded over herself singing and playing the guitar. The album was recorded in Ottawa with no indication of the year.

(by request) Bob Kolve - Chase The Clouds Away (1982)

From the back of cover

It is not accident that Bob Kolve left his Washington State home and traveled over 300 miles to New York to record this album. He was seeking the best sound, musicianship and creative atmosphere to formularize his unique style. Having recorded at Demo-Vox Sound Studio in Brooklyn in 1979, he returned where he could work undisturbed with engineer/producter Frank Grassi. But, unlike their earlier efforts "Dreams" and "Neptune's Sea", a new dimension to Bob's talent evolved when writer Jim Hayden and arranger/writer Tony Kessier joined the creative team with some exciting material.

What emerges on this record is a new blend of simple country rock stirring ballads, and slick, sophisticated jazz-rock. This work then is a fusion of Bob's personal tastes and the "New York Influence". Predictable... NO. Exciting and Entertaining... DEFINITELY!

Now back in the "Evergreen State", Bob is receiving enthusiastic reviews in the many clubs and lounges where he appears.

In an age of inflation, poor record sales due in large part to disappointing music, and pessimism about the future, we invite you to take this album home... it's the kind of album you used to buy... and it's just to "Chase Your Clouds Away".

From Mike Musiclover
"Neptune's Sea" song is Highly recommended for me.
But really I don't like this lp. Maybe you find it more interesting by me .

DAYLE STANLEY - A CHILD OF HOLLOW TIMES

Dayle is a Joan Baez type from Boston .
She topped Broadside magazine's best of local list the year this record came out.
She would be merely a typical strident folkie,
except that Dayle decided to insert a freaky cross between a yodel
and a rolled 'r' in half her songs.
This makes her the female answer to Robbie Basho
(who is definitely one of the hottest howlers),
except that she only has two albums (this is the first one from 1963).listen "CROW ON THE CRADLE"


Track List
A1.A CHILD OF HOLLOW TIMES
A2.MOTHERLESS CHILD
A3.THE FOUNDLINGS
A4.NOBODY KNOWS THAT I HAVE A NAME
A5.ANATHEA
B1.CROW ON THE CRADLE
B2.THE HUMAN SONG
B3.SHENANDOAH
B4.THE JOLLY SENATOR
B5.HARLEM IS THE NAME OF OUR TOWN
B6.QUIET TO THE BREAST

If you arn't familiar with the american folk scene (one guitar one voice)
this is not for you!

Highly Recommended

PENDULUM - S/T

Formed in 1961 by "Bob".
"Ric" is the second and last remaining member of the original Pendulum.
The others two members are "Gene" and "Mike".
This is the only info that I have from the back cover.
Some consider that the date of released is early 70's (1973).

I'm not sure. I believe the original date of released is after 1975 probably at 1977
(but the recordings maybe exist from early 70's).
This is a rare lp at these days (Baldwin Records Cs-7948).
It's a very good rock lp ...highlights the covers of Uriah Heep's Easy Livin
and Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath.
"Give me Good Lovin" in totally other dimention, excellent the original "Journey To Nowhere"


track list
a1.Black Cloud
a2.Come On Up
a3.Reflections
a4.Give Me Good Lovin
a5.Locomotive Breath
b1.Journey To Nowhere
b2.Easy Livin'
b3.Pieces Of April
b4.Can't Get Enough Of Your Love

Long was a very, very gifted guitarist!
At 1978 Crazy Cajun Records released two lp's as Joey Long.
You must listen these records 2 times , as diferent music styles
exist together without any connection between the songs.From early rock & roll songs (like "Treasure Of Your Love","You Can't Give Back The Love") among blues rock outfits and some true "JOSEPH"style tracks as "Jezabell Gables", "Funky Junky Woman", "Cajun Country" etc.
